This little purse is an inspiration from a really creative blogger friend Helen (see her blog site: www.helenmade.blogspot.com). This is her original design....way to go Helen! She had posted a whole bunch of these little purses on 2/22/2010 and I have had this on my list of 'to do" for a looong time - so now I can check it off but will probably make a bunch of these. Project finished size is 3" x 4" (measured to the top of the handle)

Side view: note solid CS usedBack view:Inside purse hold exactly 2 Hershey kisses: empty quickly to hold paper clips later...........This is what you will need:(1) Little leaves in Old Olive - attach to the front flap using a mini glue dot.(1) set of Flower Fusion ........clip about 1/4" in between the petals, then curl using the piercer . Attach them all together. Adhere an adhesive rhinestone in the center. Pop with a dimensional onto the leaves.Here is the template (which can also be found on Helen's site as well):(1) 3" x 5-1/2" Purse Body in Melon Mambo DSP. Score on the 5-1/2" side 21-1/4", 2-1/4" 3-1/2", 4-1/2". Score on the 3" side 1/2" down only to the 2nd score line and 2-1/2" down to the 2nd score line. See the template for diagonal score lines needed for the sides of the purse.(2) 1" x 2-3/4" Melon Mambo for the sides of the purse, score along the 2-3/4" side @ 1/2", 1-1/4"(1) 5/8" x 5-1/2" Melon Mambo Solid CS for the handle(1) Little Leaves in Old Olive Solid CS.(1) set of Flowers from the Flower Fusion Die using scrapsCut pieces should look like this:

Main section of the purse should be trimmed 1/2" on each side as shown (see pink arrows):

Apply Sticky tape to both ends of the handle, top and bottom side of the pieces for the side of the purse, the triangle sections of the purse:

Place the 1/2" section of the side purse piece to the purse bottom:

Remove sticky tape on the triangle section of one side of the purse to adhere to the side as shown:

Then remove the stick tape off the 1" section and fold down inside. This will make the purse more stable.

Purse handle: use hands to "curl" the handle. Remove the sticky tape, adhere to inside about 1/2", crease at the purse flap edge. Last step is to adhere the Velcro as shown.
